Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks a bunch! From your input I was able to clearly see our contact form is in fact setup as a link instead of a button. Appreciate your input greatly.

Moz Crawl Test for some reason is trying to Crawl a contact form Widget Submit Location. My obvious guess is that obviously the crawl cannot submit to the required fields…..I believe this because they're only  kicking back these errors on the pages I have a contact form widget on.

Can you shed any insight to this? I'm a bit worried that I'll have to complete gut the contact form which was one of the major requests my client requested. Or in a worse scenario make all fields not required. It would let so much spam in.

I have never seem anything like this at all. But I've learned a lot from Moz, and with major errors like 404 damage Domain Authority greatly. I've fixed 404 issues with newly acquired clients existing sites and tracked through Moz and the domain authority flies up once these errors are fixed. Along with fixing what Webmaster Tools through Google reports back.

..... Let me know if you have any expertise on this matter.

So like I said there are several sites in question. Which Is why I believe its something 'I' have done rather than what Google may be deciphering. But lets do a more newer site of mine in which I'm still actively trying to finish optimizing and design. It was a quick launch site but soared up to first page rankings.

I'm sure all my sites will have the same issue if we can figure this out here. I'm looking through my sh404seo settings in Joomla. But I dont change any default settings other than omitting categories in link titles.

Since I've become a fellow MOZer I've seen an increase on my sites and proud to say that ALL of my clients have now accomplished 1st page rankings on at least 2 of their top 3 keywords. Yes, I am as stoked as them.

Although I am a bit worried because as I rank keywords and test them on Google and engines alike all of our rankings direct to the homepage.

I am essentially new to SEO. So as happy as I am to be doing something right I'm worried I'm losing the end user. By having them need to Search our site/menus/blog for the keywords/phrase that got them to us will turn most searchers away. They want the content now. What am I doing wrong?

My pages are pretty specific so I never cared to use rel-canonical's...I dont have duplicate content, other than your typical footer/side bar consistent info. So I'm curious where I've gone wrong.

Little history on my sites: I Use Joomla 2.5 & 3.x. I manage seo details through sh404seo. I've cleaned all duplicates I can up other than what these dynamic cms generate by just using one. I've done fairly well and all my pages rank A for moz's onpage grader for the keyword optimized around.

Any help is appreciate, THANK YOU!

I only use Joomla. My favorite extension for seo is shSEF404. Here you can control all the meta data and page titles but also set rel=canonical. Connect to google analytics among other features.
